No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 603: Saving the Mute Embroiderer [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

From afar, there are lights on in the quiet courtyard.

The carriage driven by Ali stopped in an alley next to it.

Deep in the alley, there were two dark figures waiting quietly. When they saw Ouyang Rong's carriage stop, they immediately got on.

However, one of the black shadows was faster, so the other one stopped and continued to wait.

"Mingfu."

Inside the carriage, Ouyang Rong was just adjusting his clothes with his head down. When he saw Yan Liulang getting on the carriage, he did not get off yet.

"Were you at Li's house just now?"

"Yes." Yan Liulang nodded seriously, "I just happened to see the carriage of the Ming Mansion passing by."

"Liu Lang is smart. Come here and wait for me."

Yan Liulang covered his mouth and turned to look at the quiet courtyard not far away:
"If the Ming Mansion passes by, he will definitely come to visit Miss Xiu Niang."

Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes and changed the subject:
"After Ms. Rong asked the Overwatch Council to release the man, did she send someone to keep an eye on the Li residence?"

Yan Liulang glanced at Ouyang Rong, whose face was calm.
"That's right, Mr. Ming is really good at predicting things. On the surface, it was me and my fellow Jiangzhou constables who, on behalf of the Jiangzhou Hall, led them out of the Supervisory Council and released them.

"In fact, there should be quite a few spies in the Li residence right now, and the Overwatch Council has also developed a few underlings among the maids and female relatives... waiting for the fool to fall into the net."

Ouyang Rong sighed:
"What a miracle! I could have guessed it, but I didn't expect them to actually do it. It seems that I didn't think too much about it.

"I walked quickly this afternoon and forgot to remind her to stop doing these little tricks."

Yan Liulang sighed:
"Lady Historian and the ladies of the Overwatch Council really hate those traitors."

Ouyang Rong rubbed his face and said nothing.

Li Yu passed by his home not long ago without entering, and also said that his home was gone, which was actually a double entendre.

If he returned to Li's house safely, it would likely attract the attention of Yunmeng Jianze.

Who knows, they might send someone to try to contact him, and then he will become a bait again.

Ouyang Rong, who was rescuing people, was certainly not interested in such things.

But now it seems that Ms. Rong and the Supervisory Council are still a little impatient and can't hold back.

No wonder Li Yu is on guard.

Yan Liulang thought for a moment and asked:

"Mingfu sent Li Yu to live in Chengtian Temple? Then do you want me to keep an eye on him?"

"No, let him be."

"But if he runs away, it will be difficult for the Ming government to report to the emperor."

"It's okay, I won't run away."

Ouyang Rong waved his hand.

Then the two of them talked for a few more sentences, and Yan Liulang got out of the car and left with a thoughtful look on his face.

In the dark alley, a beautiful woman in a purple and gold shawl stepped forward, ready to replace Yan Liulang and board the carriage.

"Wait a minute, Rokuro."

Ouyang Rong suddenly lifted the curtain and called out to Yan Liulang.

Pei Shisanniang stopped and her curious eyes followed Ouyang Rong and looked at Yan Liulang who was turning around.

"What is it, Mr. Ming?"

Yan Liulang asked in confusion and prepared to return.

Ouyang Rong pondered for a moment.

He shook his head again:
"Forget it, it's okay, go back and have some rest."

"Yes, Mingfu."

Yan Liulang left in a daze.

Ouyang Rong's face became thoughtful, and he did not come back to his senses until Pei Shisan Niang carefully climbed into the carriage, sat down in front of him, and bent down to rub his legs while he was in a trance.

"hand."

Ouyang Rong said without lowering his head.

Below, the two jade hands that were unconsciously approaching the thighs retracted a little.

"During the time when I was in Longcheng, did you go to Chengtian Temple every day to burn incense and worship Buddha?"

He suddenly asked.

Pei Shisan Niang couldn't help but raise her head and glance at the young master's handsome face.

It is a calm look.

"That's right. Miss Xiu Niang didn't let me go shopping with her during those days. She always had vegetarian meals at Chengtian Temple. I thought that Miss Xiu Niang might be used to staying at the Beitian Nursing Home, so I didn't bother her much."

She asked in a weak tone: "Sir, have I failed in my duty..."

Ouyang Rong shook his head and looked down at Pei Shisan Niang.

She sat opposite him, and in order to give him a light hammer and massage his thighs, she folded her upper body in half, bent over, and pressed her bulging breasts, which were unique to women, very flat, so that the water was overflowing and seemed about to be squeezed out.

Coupled with the way she looked up at the man, intentionally or unintentionally, she had the face of a weak and coquettish mature woman, which made her look quite touching.

Ouyang Rong remained motionless and asked again, "Xiu Niang, do you usually go shopping and buying groceries? Is there any place you often go?"

Pei Shisanniang stood up, pulled up her wrinkled collar, and looked thoughtful:

"Yes, there are some. For example, she often goes to a bakery called Tao Shou Zhai... and there are also a few vegetable stalls set up by farmers in the city..."

With a look of reminiscence in her eyes, she told him everything she knew.

Ouyang Rong listened quietly.

Then, he took the initiative to change the subject.

Not long after, Pei Shisan Niang reported on the situation in the quiet courtyard in the past few days. Ouyang Rong encouraged her with a few words and waved his hand to send her away.

Watching the beautiful woman in the purple gold shawl disappear into the distance, Ouyang Rong looked out the front window at the night scene, his eyes thoughtful.

He just realized something.

The embroiderer had originally hidden in the Beitian Charity Home in Chengtian Temple and had escaped several rounds of searches by female officials. Judging from the circumstances, it seemed that a chubby little monk and a senior monk behind him had helped with the formalities.

One has two.

Assuming that Yue Chuzi is currently in Xunyang City, where is she most likely to be?

The answer is Chengtian Temple.

As for why the female officials of the Supervisory Council failed to find anyone, it is also easy to explain.

There are plenty of places to hide people in this century-old temple.

Maybe just like when Master Zhong Ma hid in the Pure Land Palace of Donglin Temple to steal the Crazy Emperor's Ding Sword, Yue Chuzi was also quietly hiding in a secluded corner of Chengtian Temple that was similar to an underground palace, lying in wait.

Otherwise, why would the embroiderer go to Chengtian Temple so frequently? Did she really miss the food in this temple?

Either look for the chubby little monk and the others, or contact Yunmeng Jianze; or look for Yue Chuzi.

No matter which one it is, Chengtian Temple is the most suspicious place, and I guarantee that no one will say a word once it is investigated.

And there is one more thing.

It was the dawn when Ouyang Rong and the embroiderer met again at Chengtian Temple.

Ouyang Rong remembered that his carriage had been searched, and he was so scared that he almost ran away after just fishing the Ding Sword out of the lake, and he was full of suspicion.

Later, when he met the embroiderer, he still thought that the embroiderer had searched by mistake...

Well, it might be that Yunmeng Jianze used some special methods, or the Yue women in Yunmeng Jianze who were proficient in swordsmanship could all sense the sword energy of the Dingjian nearby and were attracted over, although it was a bit far-fetched.

Because logically speaking, not just anyone could sense the energy of the Ding Sword. Every time the energy of the Ding Sword leaked, the first person to find Ouyang Rong was the crazy woman called "Candle in the Snow".

Although his back was a bit embarrassed every time he ran away, it was really exciting and fulfilling to be chased by Yunmeng Lady herself and to be able to run away with him...

As you can imagine, this is a cat-and-mouse game between masters.

In Yunmeng Jianze, there should not be many people who are qualified to act as a cat to catch him... such as the eldest female monarch, the second female monarch, such as Yue Chuzi, these card-like characters.

According to the sword skills that Ye Weilai had learned before, Xiu Niang should be a female monarch. However, the Female Monarch Palace in Yunmeng Jianze is very mysterious, and there is little information about it in the mountains and rivers. The female monarchs there should also be divided into strong and weak.

Looking at the embroiderer's appearance, it's hard to believe that she is highly valued in Yunmeng Jianze. How could she be blinded after not seeing her for just one year?

So when they were chatting in the quiet courtyard before, Ouyang Rong half-jokingly told the embroiderer that the so-called miracle doctor her "family" found was not very effective.

He said in front of the embroiderer that her "family members" didn't seem to care much about her, but his words were not meant to sow discord.

But Ouyang Rong was indeed somewhat dissatisfied.

It is true that Xiu Niang joined your Yunmeng Jianze by selling herself due to some misunderstandings in childhood, but this is not a reason for you high-ranking female monarchs to ignore or even wrong her. Do you really treat the Yue women below as tools and beasts? Just like Li Yu, right? Working for the future Yuanjun for nothing.

All in all, it now seems that the person who searched his carriage might have been someone else.

It’s not the embroiderer, but the virgin Yue who is hiding somewhere in the temple!

Attracted by the [Craftsmanship] that had just been fished out of Xingzi Lake, he left the safe place to search for the [Craftsmanship].

However, he quickly put the [Craftsmanship] into the Mohist sword box, blocking all the energy...

In my mind, many clues and suspicious points are connected.

Ouyang Rong nodded slowly, his face somewhat dazed.

However, even though he was scared, he still had to thank this Vietnamese virgin.

The fact that her own embroiderer appeared nearby at that time might have been to cooperate with her in finding [Ding Jian]. She was an old tool.

But the more Ouyang Rong thought about it, the more he felt that Yunmeng Jianze was not a good person. He felt that the embroiderer was wronged. The embroiderer was already in such a state, blind and dumb, it would be fine to send her out with a blindfold, but now she was sent out early in the morning to find the "Dielianhua Master" and [Dingjian]. What if she was really killed in one second by the "Dielianhua Master"? What if her whereabouts were exposed, not only by him, but also by the procuratorate?
Fortunately, he is the bad guy.

Ouyang Rong sighed.

Suddenly I felt that what Ms. Rong said made a lot of sense. Yunmeng Jianze really needed to be regulated. Otherwise, even he, the governor of Jiangzhou, would not be able to issue a fine for abusing the disabled and ignoring labor laws.

Ouyang Rong sighed for a while in the carriage, then got out leisurely.

He rolled up his sleeves and walked silently towards the quiet courtyard with lights on.

These complaints are just complaints.

However, Ouyang Rong, who had just reacted, called out to Yan Liulang, then waved his hand and let him go.

He did not instruct Yan Liulang to investigate Chengtian Temple in detail.

At least...don't let Yan Liulang investigate now.

Ouyang Rong had promised Xiu Niang last time that he would not ask about her family's affairs. He even pretended not to see the long sword wrapped in cloth in her hand...

Now, with great difficulty, Xiu Niang was coaxed out of Chengtian Temple and settled down in a quiet courtyard. Although she went to Chengtian Temple from time to time, it was also the first step in gradually distancing herself from the future Yuanjun Yue Chuzi. Just look at Li Yu's piety and you will know that the belief in Yunmeng Jianze and Yuanjun is not so easy to dispel.

"By the way, does Li Yu know about the strangeness of Chengtian Temple? The future Yuanjun, who he loyally keeps secret, is inside and lives in Yuan Huaimin's courtyard. Is he kept in the dark, or is he taking advantage of the situation?" Ouyang Rong frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

At this time, he approached the quiet courtyard.

Suddenly I saw that the yard door was open, and there was a slender figure holding a lonely lamp, groping aimlessly at the door.

"Why did you come out!"

Ouyang Rong stepped forward eagerly, held the embroiderer's little hand that was stretched out to explore the way ahead, held it tightly, and asked.

"Ah...ah."

Zhao Qingxiu grabbed his arm, her voice somewhat happy, and she jumped twice on the spot, revealing a bit of the innocent attitude unique to little girls.

Ouyang Rong looked stern and said bluntly:
"Didn't I tell you not to run around? Why did you go out alone in the middle of the night? Where are you going? It can't be Chengtian Temple again? Why do you like running there so much? Go ahead and run, but don't you know it's getting dark..."

At this point, his somewhat complaining words suddenly stopped. Ouyang Rong looked at her eyes covered by the sky-blue ribbon and pursed his lips into a straight line.

Zhao Qingxiu quickly shook his head.

"Ahhh." The voice sounded a little anxious.

She lowered her head and wrote on Ouyang Rong's palm:
[I know it’s dark, there’s no sun, and the wind is cold]

Ouyang Rong couldn't help but say: "If you knew that, why did you run away and come out..."

However, Zhao Qingxiu waved the lantern in his hand at him.

[I heard the sound of your usual carriage in the yard. I waited for a long time but you didn’t come in. I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to find me.]

Ouyang Rong was silent.

He slowly lowered his head and looked at the lantern in the blindfolded girl's hand that was lit for one person.

"Ah... ah?"

Noticing that Ouyang Rong had been silent for a long time, Zhao Qingxiu timidly pulled his sleeve.

[I was wrong, please don't be angry]

"I'm here. I haven't left."

Ouyang Rong suddenly pulled back his hand and said. He clenched his fist to stop her from writing these words that were as sharp as a knife. He took a deep breath and whispered:

"I'm sorry, just now... my tone was a little harsh. I stayed at the government office for too long during the day, so my tone was brought back. I'm really sorry, embroiderer, I... I'll leave later, play your favorite hairpin pendant, and sleep with you, okay?"

"Uh-huh!"

Zhao Qingxiu's tone became happy, with two small dimples on her cheeks.

At this moment, the evening breeze blew in her face. She realized something and quickly stuffed the lantern in her hand into Ouyang Rong's hand, motioning him to go into the house with the lantern.

Ouyang Rong still clenched his fist and didn't take it. Suddenly he said:

"Hold it for me."

Zhao Qingxiu tilted his head in some confusion, but still said "yeah" obediently. He held the lantern obediently and walked in the direction he came from. This time his steps were lighter.

She had only taken two steps.

The slender body was suddenly suspended in the air.

Ouyang Rong suddenly picked up the blindfolded girl holding the lantern by the waist, holding her waist with one hand and her knees with the other.

"The embroiderer is walking too slowly. Let me do it."

He hugged the embroiderer around the waist and strode towards the courtyard gate without saying a word.

Zhao Qingxiu was stunned for a moment, and then her face suddenly turned red.

She subconsciously put her arms around Ouyang Rong's neck, and her red face covered with a ribbon swayed from side to side as if looking around.

"Don't move, embroiderer, light the lantern and light the way for me."

Ouyang Rong spoke with a stern face.

"Um...ah..."

Finding that she couldn't struggle free from Tan Lang, she remained silent, buried her hot red face in his arms, and stood stiffly, not daring to move.

Ouyang Rong found that the girl in his arms was so skinny that it was heartbreaking. She also had a physique that made her body hot and easily blush. Holding her in his arms was like holding a small stove...

Ouyang Rong silently tightened his arms, hugged the beauty in his arms, and looked straight ahead. For some reason, there was no trace of romantic ambiguity in his heart at this moment, and he felt surprisingly calm and peaceful.

The lantern in Zhao Qingxiu's hand swayed as he strode.

The light falling on the former's face flickered, like a beacon flickering in the distance in the darkness.
